    This may be an odd question to ask, but bear with me.

    Do you prefer even or odd numbers? Does this extend to anything else, like how many pillows on your bed?

    When I took a photography class we were taught to look for groupings of three or five. Apparently it is more ascetically pleasing? Interesting to note that these are both odd numbers.

    But even I realize that odd is not the only preference people have.

    I have always found that I like things in multiples of three. Sooo I guess I could go both ways. However, if I had to choose between one or the other, I would say I prefer odd numbers.

    what was the thing with prime numbers? Some math expert might contribute :slight_smile:.

    Odd then? Since primes should/must be only odd right? 0_0

    Prime numbers can be even. The first prime number is even. (Unless you look at an old list when it's second)

    To the OP: doesn't matter to me.

    Please correct me if I'm wrong (I'm no math expert) but I believe that 2 is a prime number... and it is even

    Odd numbers. Sometimes I prefer them to be composite, and other times I prefer them to be prime.

    Yes and no. 2 is a prime number, but any even number after 2 should be composite.

    I believe in numerical equality. #8 and #13 are my favorite numbers and both were my jersey numbers on the baseball field. :slight_smile:

    I like multiples of 4 for some reason, so I guess evens.

    Even, because of how the word looks. I also view even numbers as smooth and lickable. Odd numbers are rough and hard.

    I prefer even numbers when I'm trying to make things look neat/feeling perfectionist (four pillows on the bed, two hospital corners), and I use odd numbers when making art-things, like when drawing in perspective.

    Even.
    It used to be odd (I loved 3 and 9) but then I started associating them with bad things so I like even ones to a near obsessive degree now.

    Even numbers. They give closure.
    Even more to this, I break odd numbers into smaller even numbers....

    Well, I love the number five for no particular reason so I'll say odd.

    Odd numbers, most of the time. I like how they are...odd, I guess. I thought of even numbers as always having a match and being perfect, but odd numbers are unique, incomplete, and I like them, I prefer groups of three, five seems too "perfect" and groups of seven are nice.

    My first thought was even, so I guess that's me.
    (You should've made a poll :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:)

    Though I love very large primes like 2^414-17, I adore even numbers, and especially powers of two.

    My most favorite is to have four pillows. :3 <3
